The Word

It was only one word, but it was all it took,
For me to have lost all hope,

One word was all it took,
To make me realize I couldn’t cope,

One word was all it took,
For me to lose sight,

One word was all it took,
For me to look at you in a different light,

One word was all it took,
To have me broken,

One word was all it took,
To make me feel beaten,

When that word came to my ear,
It made me wish I didn’t hear

The one word you said was . . .

Goodbye.
